Over 600 rockets have been fired at Israeli Jewish, Muslim, and Christian civilians over the last 48 hours. Where is the international community in condemning this? As Israelis scramble to bomb shelters, let your outrage be heard.

Update about the Rabbi from the Chabad of Poway.

"The Rabbi is out of surgery.

Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein went to the restroom to wash his hands right before the Yizkor service. As he comes out, he sees the gunman in the hallway and notices Lori Gilbert-Kaye falling after she was shot.

Before the terrorist has a chance to enter the packed synagogue, not realizing that his hand was shot, Rabbi Goldstein gathered the children and gathered all those in the sanctuary and brought them to Saftey.

The gun then jams momentarily, giving an armed U.S. military veteran and Chabad regular the opportunity to rush the shooter, chasing him out of the building. As he fled, an off-duty Border Patrol officer shot and struck the shooter’s vehicle four times.

After an 8 hour surgery, the doctors were unfortunately not able to save the rabbi’s two fingers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends and the three others who were wounded, including the Rabbi. May they have a complete and speedy recovery!"

“Heaven—have mercy.
If you hold a God
(to whom there’s a path
that I haven’t found), pray for me.
My heart has died.
There is no prayer on my lips.
My hope and strength are gone.
How long? How much longer?”- Hayim Bialik (Zionist poet 1873-1934)
